The class is based on activities and not lectures. This requires students to be responsible, follow directions, and work hard.
Avoid saying, "I don't understand". Instead, think about what you don't understand precisely.
Learn and work collaboratively.
I try to balance challenge and struggle with information and assistance
I celebrate different ways to solve problems
Math Stations provide a collaborative and varied learning environment
Instruction and Assessment Center
The Instruction and Assessment Center is where students work with the teacher in very small groups. They learn and review concepts and confirm their understanding by completing thought-provoking problems.
Challenge Center
The Challenge Center is where students apply what they have learned as they play math games. An example of a game is Equate, which is similar to Scrabble and students create arithmetic expressions. During the course of these specially-designed games, students do a greater number of more complicated problems than a worksheet.
Computer Center
The Computer Center is where students use a computer to drill and play math games. They reinforce concepts they have previously learned and track their individual progress.
